Swansea City AFC Foundation’s health and wellbeing programmes have been highlighting the importance of movement this week as they mark mental health awareness week.
The theme for this year’s mental health awareness week, set by the Mental Health Foundation, is ‘moving more for our mental health’, encouraging people to find their moments for movement so that everyone can experience the benefits which can come with exercise.
The Foundation deliver a range of programmes which focus on wellbeing through movement including FIT Jacks, Active Jacks and Walking Football, with this week’s Cwtch Coffee morning also incorporating movement with a chair yoga session…
To add an extra element of fun to this week’s walking football session, participants competed in a football Olympics, which consisted of a variety of games including football tennis, crossbar challenge and a dribbling contest.
“It makes me feel absolutely great,” said walking football participant Andrew.
I had a period in my life when I didn’t do any exercise, but I’ve started doing FIT Jacks and walking football and it has changed my life.”
